We decided to check in on parents in our home town, Toledo Ohio, before heading West. My parents are doing alright all things considered.

My sisters and I “helped” move our parents into assisted living after discovering my father’s struggles in dealing with my mom’s dementia. She has Pick’s disease, which hits earlier in life than Alzheimer’s does, but is almost identical in symptoms. Every now and then I’ll check in on them. They seemed happy to have visitors.

Jason’s mom is alive and well.

We decided to check out the new National Great Lakes Museum, which covers a lot of the maritime history of the Great Lakes. It’s a pretty interesting exhibit and recommend going if you’re ever in Toledo.
